Discussion: Lawsuit: Indiana State Trooper Pitched Christianity At Traffic Stop

Discussion for article #228553

I wonder if he told her that she was on the highway to hell. He doesn’t sound Catholic as there was apparently no attempt to sell indulgences. The guy should receive appropriate discipline and the state police should make sure no one else is doing this.

This is scary stuff. In the article the woman said she felt compelled to say she went to church because she was afraid. I wonder if she’ll be arrested for lying to a police officer.

It is none of the policeman’s business what anyone’s religion or lack thereof is.

How many misspellings were in the pamphlet?

The policeman’s lawyer said the fact that a cop does a religious radio show is a “fuzzy area” of the law. I say no, it’s not fuzzy at al. The government (and a cop is very much an arm of the government since they enforce laws) cannot establish a religion or coerce anyone into acceptance of such. Under our system it is supposed to be a completely private matter and the government should butt out. I hope the lady wins her suit.

A police officer acting self-righteously? Well knock me down with a feather.

Christians do have some boundary issues, like not recognizing that it is a theft from the rest of us when they use government resources for their own purposes. Still, I like Christians a whole lot more than Libertarians; Christians, however misguided at times, want to make the world better for everybody, while Libertarians want a better world for themselves alone and get all huffy when asked to contribute to the general welfare.

Mr. Trooper needs to take the next exit from his job.

Just be thankful you weren’t a black man when he pulled you over, lady.

I can’t lock the door,
I can’t put on my safety belt.
There’s nothing for me to do but yell HELP!
Devil’s in my car!
I’m goin’ to Hell in my old Chevrolet,
I don’t know which way.
Oh, HELP! Devil’s in my car!

He needs to be fired. Like, right now.

Non-believers have become adept at lying to offensive people such as this officer, and in a very nice way – especially when they have a 9 mm to hand.

Not sure I agree with you about what Christians want. Not much difference in my opinion.

Is this the same officer who tased a car passenger for not having ID?

At least a Chick Tract has some production values.
